Association between type of major duodenal papilla and difficult biliary cannulation at first endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in adults: a cross-sectional study with bootstrap method

ABSTRACT:

Background

The type of major duodenal papilla could be associated with difficult biliary cannulation at first endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in adults.

Methods

This retrospective cross-sectional study included patients undergoing ERCP for the first time by an expert endoscopist. We defined the type of papilla according to the endoscopic classification of Haraldsson in type 1-4. The outcome of interest was difficult biliary cannulation, defined according to the European Society of Gastroenterology. To assess the association of interest, we calculated crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PRc and PRa, respectively) and their respective 95% confidence intervals (CI) using Poisson regression with robust variance models, employing bootstrap methods.
